February 22nd – Depression

Today’s topic was prompted by this photo of the 4 legged children over the weekend. As you can see, they are looking pretty sorry for themselves, despite having just been fed and walked. The weather over the weekend was grey and damp, but today is completely different with spring sunshine and a warmth we haven’tContinue reading “February 22nd – Depression”

Jan 6th – Lockdown day …

Well, I should have been playing golf today, but alas, like the rest of the country, it’s an indoor day. So what to do??? Well, there’s an old saying that ‘variety is the spice of life’ and so I cooked a bit of breakfast after walking the woofers, cleaned up and noticed lots of birdsContinue reading “Jan 6th – Lockdown day …”

December 25th – Happy Christmas!

Today’s picture is of the sunsetting on a very different Christmas day. Christmas for me is a time for giving and sharing, difficult this year with the covid restrictions in place, but I’m a firm believer that in order to appreciate good things we need to have a little time when things don’t go toContinue reading “December 25th – Happy Christmas!”

November 15th – Winter walk

We ventured out for a woofer walk this afternoon, and were lucky to avoid the heavy storms that have been hitting the UK over this weekend. The ground was a tad soggy, but the dogs didn’t seem to mind, and it was good to be out in the fresh air. It has been mentioned manyContinue reading “November 15th – Winter walk”

November 9th – “Dad – Callie’s sitting on me again”

Hopefully a little picture to make you smile this evening. Our youngest flatcoat has a very annoying habit of sitting on others. Earlier in the evening it was my turn, but obviously I wasn’t quite squidgy enough so it was Alfie’s turn. I just love our dogs, they are such characters, and Alfie’s expression isContinue reading “November 9th – “Dad – Callie’s sitting on me again””

October 23rd – who ate the map???

Our photo book arrived today and it got us talking about our next adventure. I decided to go and get the map of Europe to float some ideas, and went to a page showing part of France to discover one of the 4 legged children had decided to eat it….. Hopefully our friends at AmazonContinue reading “October 23rd – who ate the map???”

October 17th – A big stick?

The hounds found a hollow in a huge tree to explore on our way yesterday. The hollow was very large, despite the tree still being alive A tree hollow is a cavity in a living tree. Tree holes can be caused when an injury to the tree, such as breakage of a limb, creates an opening through the bark and exposesContinue reading “October 17th – A big stick?”
